IgbereTV reports that Nigerians has lambasted a Nigerian journalist known as Fisayo Soyombo over his comment on Twitter, condemning the poor quality of local rice produced in Nigeria.

Fisayo Soyombo is an investigative journalist, a former editor of The Cable and a contributor to Aljazeera who got the praise of Nigerians after writing a report uncovering the corruption in the Nigeria's criminal Justice system.

He spent two weeks in detention — five days in a Police cell and eight as an inmate in Ikoyi Prison — to track corruption in Nigeria’s criminal justice system, after he feigned to commit an offence for which he was arrested by the Nigeria Police.

Many Nigerians are after him on Twitter after condemning Nigeria local rice.

He posted:

Just because we closed our borders for a few weeks, see the kind of nonsense rice we've flooded our markets with. This one even felt like sandy soil the moment I turned it into water. Is this honestly the best we can do as a people? Who cursed us with mediocrity so wickedly?

It seems the fights always starts from Twitter and then rolls over to Nairaland.

The guy is silly.
There are better brands with cleaner rice he could have bought, instead he chose to buy from a local farmer and had the nerve to complain .

There are better local rice in the market

Local rice is even more nutritious

The guy didn't check well

Fisayo is in the same group with other Nigerians who ignorantly keep on saying Nigerian rice are stony. They have failed to know that the only stony rice out there are the unbagged ones which are milled using manual methods, instead of an industrial rice mill. 3 out of 10 rice brands in the market are most likely Nigerian rice, but many people think any rice that is sealed is automatically a foreign rice.

Lalasticlala, help Nigerians cure their ignorance

Nigerians are toothless dogs...Headnigga.

I hope this makes front page when the Nigerians on Nairaland react and "finish" me

I blame am.....smh....local is sweet and very nutritious

No need to blast him. Let's just advise him to wash it wit hypo. It'll be whiter than oyinbo rice.

Thank us in heaven

D guy need mental therapy

They closed the border to financially strangle the South.

And to speed up the pain, they started burning markets.
That way you cant replenish ur lost stock.

Onitsha market burnt.
Then Ughelli Market burnt about 10 days ago.
Yesterday Balogun Market burnt.

Now remember the Army wanted to use Operation Positive Identification as an excuse to put soldiers on the streets in the South.

Also during the civil war Nigeria closed the Border to starve Biafra to death.

Look at how they closed the Border that they won't close to stop foriegn Fulanis coming into Nigeria, you can see that this border closure is to harm the South.

You better shine your eyes
Rebagged rice don flood market

I agree with Psychodia's comment.
Attention craving has its own high

So many things wrong with nigerians head. So its ok to sell sub standard products? Our people like shooting de messenger and not de message. U people should continue dying in silence, as for me i no send una.
